Healthy? ESCAPES

What do you use to escape from the world, when you find the "real world" unbearable? My world is dark.....hence my escapes are even darker..... horror themed titles, in show/movie/story especially in video game format. These would include triggerish themes that are not triggers to me, personally. Ever wondered about my avatar? It's an excellent game to get into if you like video games to escape from personal realities. My best escape..... it's always there for me when I need it:

Normally I read. but not just any book they have to be memoirs written by people who have some kind of disorder or who have stayed in a mental hospital. I guess my other escape would be horse riding. Some days I will just go out there and gallop. I use to play video games a lot but now I just get so pissed when I mess up or can’t do something or keep dieing. So I stopped playing them.

Sleep-the ultimate escape for me. I dream of the life i had, and the life i want.
I try to program my dreams, and it works sort of to the extent that i only will accept good dreams. dreams are an involuntary function, so the occasional bad one occurs. but in my dreams the life, fun, laughter i once knew come back. when i wake and realize it was just a dream-big letdown. but, if you can dream it- it Could happen.

Writing, love to sit and think of what if and then write down the results, also playing some of the old school D&D spin-offs great way to write crazy stuff and no one thinks different (call of cthulhu) is one I really want to get into, a coworker pisses you off? Bam you can have fun writing their persona into the game to get whacked. This is just me of course and it differs from person to person
